Something needs to change. The media and the internet has been run like the unfettered Wild West for too long. How many instances of harassment have they been involved in, time and time again: Britney, Princess Di, the multiple phone-hacking scandals. How scary is it to think that Jesy would have been another Caroline if Jake hadn't been there to save her.

Although I think that the press are generally awful, they wouldn't write what they do if we didn't want to read it. The British public get the press that we deserve. And it's not the press that carries out Twitter pile-ons either.
If no-one wanted to read what scrotes like Dan Wootton wanted to write then scrotes like Dan Wootton wouldn't have a job, or would write something else.

I agree to an extent, but what I hate is the modern practice of these "news"-papers using tweets as if they are "sources". At least back in the day, everyone knew it was just these hack writers stirring up trouble by writing lies/insults, but now they are breathing life into online trolling by giving these idiots a platform. Like with Jesy for example. I know most of that abuse was from Twitter trolls, and not the press, but the papers made it even worse by plastering the tweets on their sites and sticking the knife in.

Despite Whitmore’s pleas, there is little sign that change is on the cards. Individuals who work at leading British tabloids privately pointed out on Sunday that many of the people now criticising press intrusion into Flack’s life were likely to have been among the millions of readers who had previously rushed to click on articles about the presenter’s arrest in December for allegedly assaulting her boyfriend.

The attitude of many is that it was the public appetite for details about Flack’s private life that drove the scale of the coverage, with articles about her death topping the “most-read” lists.

One thing is clear: for all the public’s anger at celebrity news outlets whom many are blaming for hounding a woman to her death, privately people are flocking to tabloid sites to read every possible detail about her. By Sunday morning the homepage of MailOnline, which dominates the celebrity news space, featured more than 20 separate stories about Flack

I can understand that situations like Caroline's are bound to attract more attention and views because it is actually "news" in a sense, but when it comes to the more general tasteless abuse that is aimed at celebs, like in Jesy's case (i.e. reposted troll tweets) I don't see how that is entertaining or constructive to anyone. Also, even with Caroline, the amount of untruths and exaggerations that were "reported" only spur trolls on all the more. News has to be reported, of course, but I've never understood why the tabloid press is allowed to cover things in a such a sensationalist manner, freely perpetuating blatant lies and abuse.

Three weeks, but someone else said there's a rugby game that night, so maybe four weeks.

The majority of the show is going to be pre-recorded - auditions, probably some kind of camp, and a live qualifier being filmed in a few days - but there are one or more live shows at the end. Different press releases have referred to either a live final or live shows, plural.

In the news vacuum until tomorrow's show filming, shouldnt LM be hyping up their SA trip just a little bit? They havent really said anything on their socials. I would think by now they would have lined up some radio or magazine interviews.
